DUBAI, March 6 (Xinhua) -- Airports in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), have facilitated more than 1,140 flights over the past 84 hours to help travelers return home amid regional aviation disruptions.
The flights are operated from Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport, according to Dubai Airports, the city's state-owned operator.
Between Monday and Thursday, more than 500 flights departed from the two airports, providing around 105,000 outbound seats to passengers traveling to more than 80 countries, with the number continuing to rise each day.
Dubai Airports said additional flights are being added to the schedule daily and advised travelers to check the latest flight status directly with their airlines.
Airspace across several parts of the Middle East was restricted after the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran over the weekend, prompting retaliatory attacks and widespread aviation precautionary measures.
The UAE has reportedly closed parts of its airspace as a precautionary measure. ■
